From a Harvard law school student tackled by a security guard on the streets of Manhattan, a federal prosecutor detained while walking in his own neighborhood in Washington, DC, and a high school student in Colorado arrested for “loitering” in the subway station as he waits for the train home, to a bike rider in Austin, Texas, a professor at a Big Ten university in Iowa, and the head of the ACLU’s racial profiling initiative (who was pursued by national guardsmen after arriving on the red-eye in Boston’s Logan airport), here are true stories of law-abiding Americans who also happen to be black men (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Cumulatively, the effect is staggering, and will open the eyes of anyone who thinks we live in a “post-racial” or “colorblind” America.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Powerful.” —\u003ci\u003eJet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “This is raw testimony intended to vividly capture the invasions of privacy and the assaults on dignity that always accompany unreasonable government intrusion.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Gregory S.
